Chopping a string

[Dag Eilertsen]

Hi! I'm wondering if there is an easy way to divide a string into two parts
(and save them into two varibles).

The things is that I'm trying to chop a file name in two with the name in
one variable and the extension in another.

Tnx

A simple way to do it (so long as there is only one dot in the file name)
list($name, $ext) = explode('.', $fileName);
